What Type of Friend Are You?

What type of friend are you? There are many types of friends, but I am going to list the most known ones, at least from my experience that is. If you’re curious to see what type of friend you are, then continue on reading!

1. Getting you on track

This person is someone who is a “mom/dad” figure, they get you on track and prevent any bad choices you may have. They talk to you and advise you through things to help you get through anything. You’re thinking about making a bad decision but unsure if it’s a bad one? Talk to this mom/dad figure.

3. The Partier

This person loves to party, meet new people, and get drunk on occasions. They’re often the ones that are having a hangover on weekends. Don’t bother trying to hang out with this person the next day after a huge party, most likely this person is throwing up and trying to get some sleep.

4. The Talker

This person loves to talk, talking about anything that comes to mind, talking about anything without giving it a second thought. But it’s not necessarily a bad thing that the person talks so much, as Nancy Bond says in her article:

“Sometimes they’ll challenge you, but at the end of the day they will add something intangible to your life that would seem empty without them.”

5. True Friend

This person is always there for you, helping you, supporting you, and giving you all the comfort you need. This person won’t find you annoying, this person will love you for who you are and the decisions you make. I couldn’t put it better myself, but as S.L. Young says in his article, this person is

“someone who doesn’t place a classification, condition, value, or limitation on a relationship; someone who will provide emotional support and will also remain friends during good and bad times without exceptions.”
